How many breast feeds between 6pm -6am?

As title says.
I’m LG goes to bed at 7pm but she still wakes 6-7 times a night (ten times on a really bad night) She will ONLY settle if I boob her back to sleep (which to be fair is pretty quick and with no fuss-the easy option!!) I’ve created this situation now I can’t get out of it.

My eldest is two and a half so I’ve literally been living if broken sleep with the longest stretch being 3 hours for the last THREE YEARS!!!
I’m so hanging, I’ve aged ten years since having kids.
LG just will not settle without being fed. I sat next to her cot for nearly an hour last night Shhhing, patting ,singing, trying to get her to self settle but she just screamed and screamed! Please tell me I’m not alone!

I’m also feeding twice through the day at 12noon and about 4pm (except on my work days twice a week)

I put 6 or 7 but this tends to be only of he's teething or has a cold which is most of the time.. Most recent cold has lasted 5 weeks ks. The best we get is 3 times a night. He's a big boy and I haven't been able to top up his feeds because as of allergies but now he's almost one I'm going to try and get him onto oat milk. The best nights sleep always happen if I manage to get him to sleep off the boob. And the more he feeds the more he wakes up for a wee or gas. 3 hrs in 3 years you're doing incredibly well on that amount of sleep I don't know how you are doing it with a 2 and half year old as well xx
